Yup .. and I don't like how it is holding it's right wing - but maybe that's just the way it was sitting?

I have no idea what they might want to eat.

It's not looking good. When I posted he was sitting like in the photo, now he's flipped onto his back again like when I found him in the backyard. He's blinking and breathing but not much more. I brought him in because he was helpless in the yard and I didn't want any of the night predators to get him, but he may have gotten severly injured when he fell from the nest.
I don't know what is happening here. The dead chickadee I found this afternoon looked pretty small too.

Uh oh.............maybe you should toss him out now!
Could be something you do not want your birdies to get.
Or keep him far away...wash hands, etc.

The flicker I would suggest a low heat heating pad and a eye dropper or syringe and feed it like mama bird. Stained baby meat diluted with water.

They are getting ready to launch the last space shuttle. So my question is what happens to those poor suckers left in the space station? No way to get back etc so are they just gonna leave em hanging out there utill somebody comes up with another type of transport?
